staging: lustre: llite: fix inconsistencies of root squash feature
Root squash exhibits inconsistent behaviour on a client when enabled. If a file is not cached on the client, then root will get a permission denied error when accessing the file. When the file has recently been accessed by a regular user and is still in cache, root will be able to access the file without error because the permission check is only done by the client that isn't aware of root squash. While the only real security benefit from root squash is to deny clients access to files owned by root itself, it also makes sense to treat file access on the client in a consistent manner regardless of whether the file is in cache or not. This patch adds root squash settings to llite so that client is able to apply root squashing when it is relevant. Configuration of MDT root squash settings will automatically be applied to llite config log as well. Update cfs_str2num_check() routine by removing any modification of the specified string parameter. Since string can come from ls_str field of a lstr structure, this avoids inconsistent ls_len field.
